Resting

It feels like it has been a very long time since I had a rest day. In reality it has only been a couple of weeks, but it feels like longer. So I am fully committed to enjoying this one. Unfortunately I think it is the nature of life that when you remove something from your sphere of concern, ie training, even if it is just for a day, other parts of life quickly rush in to fill the void. As a result I haven't been able to relax quite as much as I would like to so far today. But I am planning on giving it a red hot go for the rest of the day.

Ever since moving down to Perth I have been trying to find a group of people to do some of my sessions with, replicating a bit of what I had in Darwin. So far it hasn't really worked, and to be honest I have got used to doing a lot of the sessions by myself, which seems to be working fine. Last week the opportunity came along to train with what looks like a good group of people a couple of times a week. The first of these sessions is tomorrow afternoon. Training with them has meant rearranging my schedule a bit this week, which is a pain since I have really only just got it sorted.  I am tempted to not bother training with the group, since it would be easier not to, particularly, as I have said, training by myself seems to have been working out okay so far. But it is one of those situations where I am better off going and checking it out rather than not going and wondering. It may be great, or I might end up deciding that it isn't for me and simply returning to what I do now. I need to know one way or the other though. The potential changes to my established routine have stressed me out a bit, but I think checking it out is necessary. Plus now, while I have a bit of time to play with before my next race, is probably the best time. There really is only one way to find out what the right option is. What that right option is though, we will have to wait and see.
